Hello, I added a second hard drive on my dell 8300
computer and I have XP Home edition, I wanted to change
a partition on it so I went start, control panel,
performance/maint. then clicked on, admin tools then on
compuetr mangement and finally clicked on disk
management, I the recieved an error code of 1053
saying "the service did not respond to the start in a
timely fashion" so then I opened up services and checked
to see if Local Disk Manager was running and it was so i
clicked on local disk manager administrative services and
clicked start then I get this "Could not start the local
disk manager service on local computer Error 1053: the
service did not respond to the start or control request
in a timely fashion" what is going on?? can anyone please
help?????
